LOVTRAP, An Optogenetic System for Photo-induced Protein Dissociation

Here we introduce LOVTRAP, an optogenetic approach for reversible, light-induced protein dissociation. LOVTRAP is based on protein A fragments that bind to the LOV domain only in the dark, with tunable kinetics and a >150-fold change in Kd. By reversibly sequestering proteins at mitochondria, we...
